Thread #7 - What goes down, might come up.

lest we forget,

Navy's wife does NOT want to be his "wife".

She wants to be roomates (with no benefits) and finish raising the kids "together".
She does not even want Navy to expect conversation with her, which most "roomates" would enjoy.

She wants the bills paid and Navy's help with the kids, and in return, um,

I am not so sure what SHE is giving. Uh I guess she won't ignore the kids?? OR at least the kids will be in the same house as Navy and that's pretty much what SHE seems to want. Not a marriage. Nothing wherein HE can make any demands of her. He is to have no expecations.

My point is, Navy is not in a position (in HER eyes) to give any terms to her.

I don't see any way his requests or statements will be given respect.

Until he is ready to "enforce" what he says, [/u]what is the point in asking or telling her not to do something we all know she'll use against him AND ignore anyhow?

He has to decide if the roomate relationship, even with a detached unfriendly roomate, who may have OM in her life, is something he can endure,

OR see what the other options are.

So far, Navy seems to think the only option he has with his wife is "asking her to be nicer"

or leaving his family and losing his kids.

I think there are other options Navy. I really do. I can't wait til you see that too.
